    I am not sure if i understand right,
    but as i see the problem is to close connection or to
    return it to pool.

    Don`t know how about publisher and PSP, but in handler
    you always can at the end of processing, just before
    return apache.OK close connection , more better thing is to
    use 'try finnaly' and process all the stuff you need
    (selects,insert,..) in 'try' while conn.close() (or return to pool)
    if 'finnaly'.

    As i know 'finnaly' happens before 'return' statement even if
    'return' in 'try'.

    I think the same can be easily done with Publisher and PSP.

    Am i right Graham?
